Tonalin® CLA Helps Reduce Body Fat Mass

January 2008

I recently reported a study that showed the ability of Tonalin® CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) to increase fat oxidation in the body during sleep. In fact, a group of subjects taking Tonalin oxidized 11 grams more fat during sleep than subjects taking a placebo.

Now researchers in Barcelona, Spain have found that drinking skimmed milk and supplementing with Tonalin CLA helps reduce body fat mass (BFM). The study was published in the British Journal of Nutrition.

In the study, 60 overweight but otherwise healthy men and women, aged 35 to 65 years, were randomized to a daily intake of 500 ml skimmed milk fortified with three grams of Tonalin CLA or a placebo over a 12-week period.

The results showed a significant three percent reduction of BFM in the overweight group taking the milk fortified with Tonalin CLA. No significant fat loss was found in the group taking the placebo. The research also found that CLA supplementation was not associated with any adverse effects or clinical changes.
